Place from two to three pounds of crimped cod carefully wiped in a fish kettle with sufficient warm water to just cover it. Add a wineglassful of white wine vinegar, a sliced onion, a few peppercorns, one clove, and a tablespoonful of salt. Let this boil up quickly and then simmer for about five minutes, or until the fish is done.

After draining, the fish should be dished up on a serviette and may be served with any sauce that is preferred.
